New Feature Alert


It’s now easier than ever to see both the author's and the composer's versions of a text!

After more than a year in development, I'm thrilled to announce that we've finally implemented the ability to view "sung texts" with all the modifications by a given composer already applied. Over 10,000 pages will benefit from this improvement. It should especially benefit those of you who need accurate texts for concert programs and CD booklets.

I'm excited to share this new feature with all of you and hope that it enhances your experience on the LiederNet Archive. Take some time to explore and enjoy! — Emily

"Red mig en grav, o moder kär, min levnadsdag är liden;
Den man, som fick mitt hjärtas tro, har flytt med skam ur striden,
Har tänkt på mig, har tänkt på sig, har följt ert varningsord
Och svikit sina bröders hopp och sina fäders jord.

    Set to music by Filip von Schantz (1835 - 1865), "Torpflickan", 1863, stanza 12 [ voice and piano ]
